Chain-free, compact modern bungalow close to village amenities and countryside.
One-bedroom semi-detached bungalow, built 2019
A compact, modern one-bedroom semi-detached bungalow built in 2019 and offered chain-free. The open-plan lounge/kitchen and neutral décor create an easy, low-maintenance home for a single buyer or couple. At about 431 sq ft the layout is efficient but small — ideal for someone seeking a simple, ground-floor property or a buy-to-let starter.
Practical points are clear: the property is freehold with pebbled gardens front and rear and a gravel driveway. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the EPC is C. Council Tax Band B keeps running costs relatively low, but electric heating can be more expensive than gas, so check likely energy bills.
Location suits buyers who value local amenities and countryside access. Rowlands Gill village is around half a mile away with shops, a doctor’s surgery and bus links; Newcastle city centre is 8.5 miles. There are pleasant walks nearby including routes to Gibside and the Red Kite Trail.
Be aware of area context: local statistics show higher-than-average crime and relative deprivation in the wider area. The bungalow’s small plot and compact internal size limit future extension potential. Overall this is a practical, well-presented starter home or straightforward rental opportunity offered with immediate vacant possession.
